This I2C digital humidity sensor is a fairly accurate and intelligent alternative to the much simpler Humidity and Temperature Sensor – SHT15 Breakout It has a typical accuracy of 4% with an operating range that’s optimized from 10% to 80% RH. Operation outside this range is still possible – just the accuracy might drop a bit. The temperature output has a typical accuracy of 0.2ºC from -20ºC~85ºC.
The HDC1008 sensor chip has 2 address-select pins, so you can have up to 4 shared on a single I2C bus. It’s also 3-5V power and logic safe so you don’t need any level shifters or regulators to use with a 5V or 3V microcontroller.
Note: TI has indicated that there’s a ‘settling’ effect for the humidity and that you will need to rehydrate the sensor once you receive it. To rehydrate it, place it in a location with 85% humidity for 24 hours or 60% humidity for 10 days.
